Karen, Jeff and Mike.. Mom's eyes filled with tears as we were talking about your mom today. They were dear friends for so many years. Mom was sad that she couldn't be there for her funeral but we were talking about the last time we visited with her before your dad passed. I have such great memories of time with you all. What a special family you all were to ours and Marge was a dear woman. I know you will miss her..May God wrap his arms around you all during this time. For Claudine...

LeRoy & I will always remember your Mom. She was a wonderful friend and she was like one of our sisters. We have had many good times with both Marge and Jack. We enjoyed our winters together here in FL. We know that someday we will all be together again when God calls us all home.
Love, LeRoy & Martha Burley

I am very sorry for your loss. I considered Marge and Jack some of the nicest, kindest people I have ever known. My parents, Maurice and Sue Barrow , could not have asked for better friends.

My heart aches at your loss. I became friends with Marge when I was the hospice volunteer for Jack. Her love for him and the family were evident in everything she did. I came to treasure our brief visits as the highlight of my week, as her cheerful and positive spirit was contagious. The love of Christ dwelt in her richly and drew many to the Jesus she worshiped.
